Résumé du livre

Marketing Strategy Fundamentals for Small Businesses - by David Fischer (Solutions for Growth, LLC)

If you believe that building a great business is enough for customers to magically show up - this book will change your mind.

In Marketing Strategy Fundamentals for Small Businesses, marketing veteran David Fischer cuts through the noise, myths, and “growth hacks” that leave small business owners frustrated, overwhelmed, and wasting money on marketing that doesn’t work.

Drawing on 35+ years of experience helping everyone from Fortune 50 companies to local nonprofits, Fischer delivers a practical, no-fluff guide to building a clear, integrated marketing strategy that actually drives long-term sales growth.

This book is not about chasing trends. It’s about understanding how customers really think, why consistent marketing investment matters, and how to position your business so it stands out in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
